Profession Change for ACCA's & SOCPA Membership

hi, i am also facing same issue, give me your mobile number to discuss this issue with you.

Hi,

Share your experiences how you changed your profession in accounting? I am also facing the same issue. Is there anyone who change the accounting profession recently. Kindly let us know the procedure.

Dear any update

Nopes brother i only got my SOCPA membership so far my sponsor has some issues with the MOL hence their system is stuck and can not process my change of profession due to some lame WPS issue.

For other ACCA's who have done this process change and called their families to kingdom or otherwise please share the process and your story so that others can get guidance and help accordingly.

Thanks
Faiz.

what documents you submitted for SOCPA membership? and how many days it took

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou … p9BccS0Ayy

I submitted my ACCA membership certificate and it took me just 2 days. As soon as i paid my membership and one time registration fees to SOCPA that was around 840 SAR including VAT i got my membership on spot. However, I submitted my ACCA membership certificate first at dataflow website and paid 525 SAR for its verification. Once i received their email that my application is accepted for verification I applied for membership from SOCPA and it was done within 2 days. Next day i went to SOCPA headoffice in Riyadh and got my Membership card from SOCPA.

Mr Faiz,

Can you please let me know is there any membership type mention on the SOCPA membership card. Please let me

Hi Zain,

Yes the type mentioned is Temporary Accounting Technician.

Dear,

I want to apply for SOCPA membership. My iqama profession is General accountant.  I have graduation certificate only in university of calicut but this certificate not done saudi embassy attestation. Is it enough for getting membership in Socpa. Can i upload this certificate for Socpa membership..

Yes, you should be able to get membership even if its not attested by Saudi embassy. As SOCPA will send your certificates to Dataflow and they will verify the certificates by contacting your university,

What was your specialization in MBA ?

Why they dont accept mba degree? /what was socpa's comment

Your MBA is regular or distance?

Hello everyone
Plz help.me It's true  if I submit 11 years experience certificate in socpa with chamber stamp.
I'm able to be a member of scopa

regular

Respected sir,
i applied for the Socpa certificate but rejected.
i have MBA IN FINANCE, attested form embassy and mofa. i want to change my profession to Account. can any one tell me that MBA regular is accepted or not for certificate.

As I know know......yes, you can manage with temporary socpa approval  for one year and renew eqama at present for one year.. After 3-4 months SOCPA MAY ASK FOR CLARIFICATION and you may have to submit an attested certificate later!!!

How can we obtain SOCPA temporary approval for one year to renew Iqama ? what is the procedure and can you guide us please or share your experiance ? Would be much appreciated. Thank you

If you have a valid graduation, Science or B.Com, You upload your degree certificate and other documents needed by SOCPA and pay the fee> Normally they will accept and you will get a temporary membership number and your eqama can be renewed for one year...........after 3-4 months after cross checking SOCPA may  ask some clarification if anything wrong and can be rectified within one year.

If you get any reply please let me know.
